If I absolutely positively had to limit myself to five comic books

Now, I don't buy a ton of books compared to a lot of people, but I do buy well over five titles. So...if, for whatever reason, I could only have five of them:

1. Captain America. This one won't surprise any of you who have read my blog even sporadically. It's not as head-and-shoulders above the rest as it would have been, say, a year ago, but it's stil at the top of the list. Good stories, good art, generally respectful treatment of the characters, and plenty of surprises.

2. Green Lantern Corps. This is my GL book of choice. (I tried the regular GL book for a while but Hal just doesn't interest me to the point of $2.99/month.)

3. Secret Six. It's early days for this one but I fully expect it to remain as much fun as this group has been in the past.

4. Deadpool. Ditto.

5. Avengers/Invaders. I hesitate to put this one on the list because it's not an ongoing, but it is a year-long mini and that's longer than some ongoings last. I retain a great fondness for the Invaders, and I've been enjoying this new take on them.

I will say that, a few weeks ago, both Birds of Prey and She-Hulk would have been on the list.
